Our view of the service
We undertook a follow-up on-site inspection on 14 May 2026. This was carried out to review the actions taken by the registered provider to improve the quality of care and to assess whether the practice was meeting legal requirements.
We had previously undertaken an announced on-site inspection of Chester Road Dental Practice on 30 January 2025 and a follow-up inspection on 22 October 2025. We had found the registered provider was not providing well-led care and was in breach of Regulation 17 Good governance of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.
During our follow-up inspection on 14 May 2026, we found the practice had met all regulations.
Improvements had been made to the leadership and oversight to ensure a culture of continuous improvement was embedded.
Improvements had been made to ensure risks are managed effectively.
However, improvements were still required to antibiotic prescribing which was not consistently in line with current guidance.
Chester Road Dental Practice is in Northwich and provides NHS and private dental care and treatment for adults and children.
There was step-free access to the practice and car parking was available near the practice.
The practice had 5 treatment rooms. During the assessment we spoke with 1 dentist, 2 dental nurses, the practice manager and the operations manager.
